Binance has announced the listing of its second Pre-IPO Perpetual Contract on Binance Futures, the OPENAIUSDT Pre-IPO Perpetual, tied to the anticipated public market valuation of OpenAI Group PBC.
The listing follows the launch of Binance's first Pre-IPO perpetual, linked to SpaceX, which recorded more than $280 million in cumulative trading volume within its first five days on the platform.
Pre-IPO perpetual contracts are designed to give eligible users exposure to expected valuations of private companies ahead of potential public listings.
Binance says the product category is intended to broaden access to a type of price discovery that has historically been concentrated among institutional and private market participants.
OpenAI Group PBC is among the most prominent private companies in the artificial intelligence sector and has attracted significant global attention as interest in AI technology continues to grow.

Shunyet Jan, Head of Spot and Derivatives Business, Binance said:
"The momentum we saw in the first days of this category launch is a strong signal that users are looking for new ways to access major market narratives through crypto-native products. Reaching more than $280 million in cumulative trading volume within five days of our first listing gives us confidence in both the appeal of Pre-IPO perpetuals and our broader strategy to evolve Binance into a financial super app. As we democratise access to a wider range of financial opportunities, that vision is clearly resonating with users."
Ahead of an IPO, the contracts are expected to reflect publicly available pricing signals, including announced price ranges and final offering prices. Once the underlying company begins trading on public markets, the contracts will transition to reflect live market performance.
In the event that an IPO is postponed or cancelled, Binance has stated it will provide advance notice of any delisting and settle contracts according to a defined process. Binance may also transition the contract into a standard perpetual contract framework once it determines that a stable mark price can be derived for the underlying asset.
